DRAWINGS OF THE TURF - Charge!

390mm x 300mm. Brush, ink and wash on paper. Early 1980s.

A Birmingham businessman with interests in The Turf commissioned me to do a series of Racing Cartoons, which were printed as posters and distributed to a network of betting shops for publicity purposes. The drawings are slightly battered now, and interestingly stained and faded, but are in excellent condition. I've always liked them, and am even now a bit reluctant to let them go. They'll look great mounted and framed.

Full on into the final strait! The wash is watered-down Quink. It has a bluish tinge.
